R2BEAT extends the Neyman (1934) \u2013 Tschuprow (1923) allocation method to the case of several variables, adopting a generalization of the Bethel\u2019s proposal (1989). R2BEAT develops this methodology but, moreover, it allows to determine the sample allocation in the multivariate and multi-domains case of estimates for two-stage stratified samples. It also allows to perform Primary Stage Units selection.<br \/>\nR2BEAT easily manages all the complexity due to the optimal sample allocation in two-stage sampling design and provides several outputs for evaluating the allocation. Its name stands for \u201cR \u2018to\u2019 Bethel Extended Allocation for Two-stage\u201d. It is an extension of another open-source software called Mauss-R (Multivariate Allocation of Units in Sampling Surveys), implemented by ISTAT researchers. Mauss-R determines the optimal sample allocation in multivariate and multi-domains estimation, for one-stage stratified samples.<\/p>\n                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                        \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item liv1\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"accordion-header\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse_al_2_1liv_block_6a3246bb70b7ec6ec3e0c73c8504e0bb\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse_al_2_1liv_block_6a3246bb70b7ec6ec3e0c73c8504e0bb\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tInformation\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"collapse_al_2_1liv_block_6a3246bb70b7ec6ec3e0c73c8504e0bb\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-row=\"0\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-depth=\"1\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-bs-parent=\"#accordion_1liv_0_block_6a3246bb70b7ec6ec3e0c73c8504e0bb\">\r\n                        <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"accordion-body col-12\">\r\n                                    <p><strong>Status:<\/strong> validated<\/p>\n<p><strong>Author:<\/strong> Istat<\/p>\n<p><strong>License:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/joinup.ec.europa.eu\/sites\/default\/files\/custom-page\/attachment\/eupl_v1.2_en.pdf\">EUPL<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>GSBPM Codification:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2.4 Design frame and sample<br \/>\n4.1 Create frame and select sample<\/p>\n<p><strong>Programming language:<\/strong> R<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> sampling, two-stages, optimal allocation, multivariate, multi domain, stratified<\/p>\n<p><strong>Maintainer\u00a0 Contact:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Andrea Fasulo<br \/>\nemail: <a href=\"mailto:fasulo@istat.it\">fasulo@istat.it<\/a><\/p>\n                                <\/div>\r\n                                                                                <\/div>\r\n                        \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"accordion-item liv1\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"accordion-header\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<button class=\"accordion-button collapsed\" type=\"button\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-bs-toggle=\"collapse\" data-bs-target=\"#collapse_al_3_1liv_block_6a3246bb70b7ec6ec3e0c73c8504e0bb\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"collapse_al_3_1liv_block_6a3246bb70b7ec6ec3e0c73c8504e0bb\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tSoftware and documentation\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/button>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"collapse_al_3_1liv_block_6a3246bb70b7ec6ec3e0c73c8504e0bb\" class=\"accordion-collapse collapse\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-row=\"0\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-depth=\"1\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-bs-parent=\"#accordion_1liv_0_block_6a3246bb70b7ec6ec3e0c73c8504e0bb\">\r\n                        <div class=\"row\">\r\n                                                            <div class=\"accordion-body col-12\">\r\n                                    <p><strong>TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The R2BEAT package needs R (version 2.15.0 or more) and depending packages:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cran.r-project.org\/web\/packages\/plyr\/index.html\">plyr<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cran.r-project.org\/web\/packages\/sampling\/index.html\">sampling<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/cran.r-project.org\/web\/packages\/devtools\/index.html\">deytools<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>COPYRIGHT<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2021 Istat<\/p>\n<p>Licensed under the European Union Public Licence (EUPL), version 1.2 or subsequent.
